** Alex was accused of being emotionally manipulative by several users on Website/{{Tumblr}} and by some old friends such as Lex and his ex-girlfriend Bekka, as well as his apparent disregard for consent. This led to a huge backlash as well as a large number of subscribers ditching him, and many of his one-time friends went on to declare that they would not be hanging around with him in any capacity. Many Forbidden Planet stores have stopped selling ''TabletopGame/{{Sopio}}'' decks, with a publisher for Alex's first book scrapping it barely weeks before its intended release date, and Alex was forced to go underground for several months, with no tweets or new videos.

His channel began to lose even more subscribers until it went below one million (his all-time high being 1.1 million) and he declared the channel largely dead in May 2015 in favour of "The Daily Day", another venture which he soon began to ignore in favour of nerimon once again.
